A very quick post here as I'm running very late! I'm heading away tonight to go to Belgium for the Grand Prix at the weekend!!! I'm a teeny bit excited!! But I haven't packed yet, so the panic is starting to set in!

It was a mad rush to try to get all done that needed to be done - and as I made a couple of cards following sketches, I wanted to get them blogged before I go!!

I used another fairy from the digi downloads from Charmed cards and crafts. I also used the yummy Wisteria papers from Basic Grey. A few swarovski's and a bit of ribbon from my stash to finish.

You can sort of see here how I decoupaged the fairy a bit.

Here's the inside:

Fairly plain, just using another bit of Wisteria paper.

I have another card to show you, but it's for my friend Andria whose birthday it is on Sunday. I'll be at the race in Belgium on sunday so I'm gonna have a go at scheduling that card. Just in case it doesn't work....ANDRIA, DON'T LOOK! lol!

This cutie is from Whipper Snapper and I coloured her with my promarkers

The papers are from Basic Grey (I can't remember which set - I'll have to look it up later and I'll add it then) and ribbon, charm and swarovski crystals are from my stash. I glittered around the edge of the image mount, and cut out a heart with my cuttlebug die.

This is the inside:

I used the inside bit of the heart from the front (and another one) and glittered the whole thing and with the other one, I coloured it with a clear stardust pen and then coated it with glossy accents (I think that's the right one!) The wording was all adapted to suit how the cutsie wee girl would say it! ie, "Happy Birfday!"

This was a card I made for a friend who turned 30 last week. This fantastic Flippin' Men image (which is by far my favourite one!) suits him down to the ground!

I liked this Basic Grey paper for the background as it reminds me of wallpaper you'd see in the toilets of an old Irish pub!! Which is where you're likely to find the recipient!! You can see where I glittered the wording with Sakura clear stardust pen, I also glittered the pint for effect, although you can't really see it here.

Hi all!

Firstly, can I just say how sorry I am that's it's been soooo long since I've posted on my blog.I have to say, that after my friends wedding, I didn't make a card for a month! It was a well deserved break though, as life was so hectic before that - not that's really any less hectic now!Also, I was injured a couple of weeks ago at a concert when I was struck on the head by a flying man.... long story! I'm still recovering from that but I had intended on blogging sooner only for that.So to get back into it, I have a few cards lined up, but I'll do the wedding one I promised (even though it's now old!)

I think I did follow some challenges for it, but they're long passed and I haven't a clue which ones they were.

This is the card:

The image is a digital download - I think it's from Bee Crafty - but I'll have to check.

This is the flower I made and the charm is from my stash - I made the beads using swarovski crystals:
